I really hope that this is not a permanent change for our spouses, i.e. that they are through with motherhood. To me, they act more like aunts or other relatives that have a less emotional interest than a mom.
Of course, I think that eventually they will be pulled back emotionally but I hope it is not long after the kids move on because of a lack of emotional investment on the part of our wives.
